General Advantages of Spiral,
Hypoid and Zerol Bevel Gears
■ High level of coverage due to the fact that sever- ■ Noise and oscillation damped even at high
al teeth are meshed simultaneously peripheral speeds
■ Resistant to elastic deformation of gears, shafts ■ Gear sets can be assembled in your preferred
and bearings direction of rotation
■ Circular arc gear teeth are more resistant to ■ > 97% efficiency depending upon layout and
bending than straight and oblique gear teeth lubrication
■ Very gentle transmission even at high-speed ■ Due to convex tooth-loading the load is not
operation and under heavy load concentrated on the tooth-ends
■ All gear sets can be ground and/or lapped in
pairs upon request

are similar to spiral bevel gears, but
with the drive pinion axially offset either
above or below. This means a greater
pinion diameter, longer life and more
gentle tooth meshing.

Advantages of Ground Gear Tooth Cu

Cutting
g
■ Precise transmission
■ Very quiet running
■ Little heat generation
■ Flexible options to optimise noise via influencing
the tooth flank geometry
■ Tooth grinding in accordance with the UMC
process (Universal Motion Concept) in the case of
applications where noise is of paramount
importance

with typical shaft offset.

Spiral bevel gear pair with 45°

The smaller the bevel gear, the

greater the know-how necessary.

Tips for Assembly

■ The housing and all components must be cleaned.

■ Attention should be paid to the bearing

manufacturer‘s guidelines when assembling the
rolling bearings

■ Lapped gears must be assembled in pairs.

■ The radial and axial contact surfaces should be

inspected for radial and axial runout.

■ The pinion should be assembled at the correct

distance.

■ The gear should be assembled with the recommen-

ded backlash.

■ The pinion and gear must be secured against axial

thrust in both directions.

■ The tooth contact pattern should be inspected.

■ Care should be taken that the toothed gears and

bearings are sufficiently lubricated.

■ Decisive for a precise, low-noise bevel gear pair is

the optimum position of the tooth contact pattern.
